ThreadAnimals is a Yahoo-group I am a member of, where I can find loads of inspiration! From time to time they have competitions and challenges, often by initiative of the generous and talented Berta Hesen-Minten from ThReAdTeDs.

This time it was on the theme “Read and Do” that was about following a written pattern without knowing what the end result should be. To qualify for the competition, we had to make a sample, a pre-challenge.

My two grand daughters got each a crochet doll for Christmas. They were so fun to do that it felt like a crafts Christmas present for myself! The pattern is Beth Webber’s, and to make the dolls more safe to play with I didn’t add any pipe cleaner in the arms or legs.
